Pantin – The National Bureau of Vigilance against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA) reported in a press release sent this Sunday “facts that may relate to antisemitic vandalism” committed in recent days in square 212 of the Pantin cemetery (Seine-Saint-Denis).
The Jewish association explains that it was alerted by a person who went to his father’s grave and who was shocked to find the commemorative plaque broken halfway up, the lower part remaining on its base.
The staff in charge of the cemetery explained that “the wind” could be responsible for this breakage, while the police, where a complaint was lodged, seemed to see it as the mark of vandalism. A few meters away, two tombstones were also knocked down.
